The weekend was a burnt one. I didn’t do anything fun! 🙁
On Friday night, I was at the office till 9.30pm and later went to a friend’s place to watch the last few episodes of Season 4 of Sex and the City. I had already watched it, but one of my friends hadn’t so the three of us just vegetated in front of the TV watching Carrie and co. But I was so exhausted from work that I fell asleep halfway.
On Sat, my grand plans for dragonboating, dinner with friends and later drinks at Equinox fell flat when I came down with a cold. I was knocked out for the whole day. The only accomplishment of the day was that I managed to edit one manuscript in the afternoon before the medicine took effect.
Sunday–still felt drowsy and tired. Went for my half-yearly dental checkup. I become a scared three year old whenever I’m at the dentist’s. Those equipment scare the hell out of me. It’s just scary and intimidating. While waiting for my turn, this teenage girl starts croaking along to the Black Eye Peas’ Where is the Love? which was playing on the piped music. The song really isn’t the easiest song to sing along to (save for the chorus)–I was glad when she was called into the room.
In the afternoon I had to spend some time editing a preface written by some Korean professors. Upon the first reading, I could tell immediately that it must have been a direct translation from Korean. It just sounded wrong.
From 2.30-4.30pm, I slept again. I’ve no idea why I was so tired. Must be due to the insufficient sleep I’ve had for the past two weeks. The body just accumulates this sleep debt. Felt like some grub curling up in a cocoon and just wanting to sleep all day long.
Anyway, the week ahead is going to be one filled with late nights at work. Deadlines and more deadlines to meet. Like woohoo! That’s my very idea of fun!
